rob and i in dispute

[Ken Gargett]

rob and i did a vid for the new LE Cohiba 1966 2011 release. no spoilers but whacko!!

we were discussing past LE's. in particular the cohiba pyramides. we both agree that the 2006's were better than the early ones. i think the early ones were 2001's from memory.

rob reckons they came as a millenium release and were packaged in a jar. i have a different recollection. i thought that they were just in boxes as a normal LE release and the millenium release was separate.

to be fair to rob, he was pissed (always helps the review - smithy must be tearing his hair out the number of times we forgot sound or tripped on the light cord and so on) so his memory may have been clouded.

(and before he ******* at me revealing his drinking problem, i refer him to his 'village idiot' comment - this seemed only fair).

can anyone assist?

I always thought they came in a glass top box?

I think the LE Piramides in 2001 were in boxes. The jar release was something separate, just a "regular" piramide (not an EL, no extra-aged tobacco used). Something just special in the packaging for the European market.

[CanuckSARTech]

Edit - just checked out Trevor's webpage. You were both right, and you were both wrong.

Actually, as much as it frightens me to say it......

.....Kenny boy, it looks like you were right!!!!!!

There was a Cohiba piramide in a jar. But that was the Millenium Reserva, numbered ceramic jars, released in 1999, with a special "Habanos 2000" band. Nothing special to the tobacco with those, and not directly in the EL program.

Then, in 2001, there was the actual EL release of Cohiba Piramides EL 2001, with the aged 2-year-old wrapper, and in 25-boxes.

Sorry Rob...

The 2001 release was in a light brown box the re-release of 2006 was a black ebony type box (like the maduro 5 line) and the Millenium reserva were available in a jar. Hope that helps mate.

I was going to answer but CanuckSarTech, provided the same info I would have got from Trevor's site.

My question is why Ken and Rob didn't check Trevor's website and gone to the FOH members instead.....

Honestly, do you really think either of them would have been in any condition to think about searching Trevor's site, let alone type in the correct web address?

as long as i get the proceeds from our bet, i don't mind!!

[El Presidente]

i admit i got it completely wrong. again. everything i said about ken is, as usual, complete rubbish. i am a terrible person and a compulsive liar. i do not deserve to have a friend like ken.

i will deliver the box of '66s immediately.

as long as i get the proceeds from our bet, i don't mind!!

Which would be squat given I was miraculously correct?

Where am I going wrong here? Why is it you haunt me?

And I think it is important for forum members to know that Ken has taken to painting faces on the empty plastic bottles on his deck

....ala Tom Hanks....a whole family of Wilson's to keep him company........except....they appear to be all female.

And no....I have no idea why the water in the bottles is yellow....given they purportedly catch rainwater

[Fuzz]

I'm sure it is rainwater... just filtered through Ken first!

[android]

Ummmmmm yes...KG was correct as stated above! I have a jar and a box of those babies...just smoked one of the 2001 LE in Cancun, Mexico a few weeks ago...quite tatsy...had not even cracked the box open in 5+ yrs.

[CanuckSARTech]

So I guess the question then becomes, which cigars, which versions of the Cohiba Piramides, were the ones being debated over? The Millenium Reserva, or the Edicion Limitadas?
